QUICK HITS
- James Madison men's basketball caps its two-game road swing with its second straight in-state foe, travelling to Norfolk, Va. to take on Old Dominion in a 7 p.m. matchup on Wednedsay, Nov. 20.
- Over the weekend, freshman forward Julien Wooden racked up 17 points off the bench in a hard-fought loss at George Mason as the Dukes fell to 2-2. Wooden went 6-of-8 from the field on his way to this week's CAA Rookie of the Week honors, the first of his young career and the Dukes' first in two seasons.
- The Dukes took a step forward in 2018-19, going 14-19 on the year, including a 6-12 mark in Colonial Athletic Association play while losing just two seniors to graduation.
- Despite the graduation of departed guard Stuckey Mosley, the Dukes reuturn three other players who averaged double-digit scoring last season in Lewis (16.4ppg) and Darius Banks (12.3) and junior forward Dwight Wilson (10.2), who also pulled down 7.8 rebounds per contest in a breakout sophomore season.
- Prior to the season, both Lewis and Banks were named to Preseason All-CAA teams, with Lewis earning a spot on the All-CAA First Team and Banks being tabbed to the Second Team heading into 2019-20.
- The Dukes were tabbed to finish fourth in the preseason poll of the league's coaches and media members, earning three first-place votes along the way in one of the closest preseason polls in league history.
- Heading into the season, JMU welcomed a six-member freshman class, including forward Michael Christmas, Dalton Jefferson and Julien Wooden, as well as guards Zyon Dobbs, Jayvis Harvey and Quinn Richey.
- Old Dominion improved to 3-1 on the season over the weekend, picking up a 76-69 victory over fellow CAA foe Northeastern on Saturday in Head Coach Jeff Jones' 500th career victory.
- Junior guard Xavier Green leads the Monarchs in scoring through four contests, racking up 16.5 points per contest to go with 6.3 boards. Despite just 4.0 points per game, senior forward Aaron Carver has averaged 11.5 rebounds to lead the way on the boards.
- Wednesday night will mark the 85th matchup between JMU and Old Dominion, a series that dates back to the 1971-72 season and stands as the Dukes' third-longest rivalry (W&M, 98 games | George Mason, 95 games), with ODU holding a 58-26 lead in the series.
- The Monarchs have proved a tough out on their home court, holding a 35-6 advantage over the Dukes in Norfolk, including last season's 67-42 triumph on Dec. 1, 2018.
- In last year's matchup, then-sophomore Matt Lewis tallied 15 points in the defeat, but a cold stretch for the Dukes saw ODU put together a 23-2 run on either side of halftime to put JMU in a hole it couldn't climb out of.
